Details
"Roger Rees, whose jaw is a true-blue 18th century model, essays the role of John Adams, Boston's resident prim upstart. Rees works hard, very hard, attempting to hurdle his vocal limitations, often racing musical director Peter Matz's tempos—and winning, therefore losing. Rees needs to relax more." (LA Times, Michael Phillips, 7 September 2001)
"The cast is headed by Orson Bean as a wise, witty, womanizing Ben Franklin and Roger Rees as the unpopular firebrand John Adams. Though Rees's voice is of the Rex Harrison and Richard Burton brand, he can sell a song. " (Curtainup, Laura Hitchcock, 5 September 2001)
